One more snafu in unravelling

to be the securing of a special

on bottles of liquor slated for
Canal Zone consumption.
A dealer today said that most
of the wholesalers are already in
possession of a rubber stamp
which they will use on the label
of each bottle.
However he said it was not
clear when they would be receiv-
ing the seals, which are also re-
quired to be placed on the liquor
which goes into the Canal Zone.
H added they were "expect-
ing the seals any day," but
didn't know exactly when.
An American member of a
Canal Zone labor union report-
ed he visited three dowa-town
liquor stares Saturday after-
noon In an effort to purchase
a bottle of a well-known brand
of scotch at the discount price.
The first retail store he visited
is operated by a firm which also
imports liquor and sells it whole-
sale. The clerk who waited on
the labor man quoted a price of
$4, but said he could not sell a
bottle at the tax-discount.
"Suppose i bring a free-entry
permit from the Canal Zone?"
the would-be purchaser inquir-

Politely, the clerk replied: "No,
we can't do it. We don't have

Pin-ups For Anfhony Eden
LONDON, Dec. 18 (UP) Ail-
ing Prime Minister Sir Anthony
Eden today will receive, pictures
of a blonde British bombshell pro-
vocatively attired in little more
than her birthday suit.
The pictures, a gift of Socialist
Member of Parliament Arthur
Lewis, are not a get-well present.
Lewis is enraged because 20-
year-old Shirley Crawford danced
as illustrated at a stag party
in a building belonging to Her
govern men

silver paint and fig leaf will be
on Sir Anthony's desk today.
Lewis sent the pin-ups to Eden

in a treasury building.
Lewis indicated be does not ob-
ject to pretty young ladiea dancing
in the raw, but said he felt such a
dance was beneath the dignity of
Whitehall, seat of government for
the British Empire.
The more than 100 guests at the
post office party did not consider
the silvery dsnee beneath the dig
nity of any building. At least no
other objections were raised.
Shirley insists she wasn't com-
pletely nuda because "I was cov-
ered in silver paint" and wore "a
silver figleaf feather."__________

Anti-West Riots
In Jordan Affect
Xmas Pilgrimages
JERUSALEM, Dec. 19 (UP) Jordan's embattled
government today announced a dusk-to-dawn curfew for
the little town or Bethlehem where Christ was born.
The announcement by the Jordan radio heard in near-
by Lebanon was the latest in a series of critical events in
the troublt-torn Holy Land at the start of this Christmas
week.
During the weekend, there were other reports of bit-
ter anti-Western riots in Amman, the capital of Jordan,
and joint Egyptian-Syrian pledges of action against Is-
rael.
The Jordan radio broadcast said the curfew would
be in effect from 4 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily. It said it would
remain in effect "until further notice."

LOCAL KATE MAIL
I hope this suggestive letter which I'm writing escape your
waste basket, it is intended to help the Package Department of
ih* CrUtobRl Post Office aa speanlng on behalf of the Local
Rater*. We think thal.the clerks in that same dept. Is being
unfair and tho' won't say discriminated, we the oox owners
feels that we are embarrassed by these officials. We feel* that
with at little judgment of these clerks all problems could be re-
medied.
Now having a box from the Old Post Office where now stand
a shipping firm, and have on our file the list of persons of our
families tnat receives mail thru' our box, we feel that the new
Call For Package system is being handled poorly by these offi-
cials then wants to make us the Local Raters the victims. These
officials should realize by now that if we did not have Govern-
ment privileges we would not have send for packages in our
names, and by buying or importing they have a Job. We must
admit that some of us really have a large family and sometimes
we may even help a friend as many of us have difficulty in re-
ceiving letters thru' Oen. Delivery, because of the same name,
ao in using a box we save the Post Office Department a lot or
headache and maybe thousands of dollars.
But It's no different from the U. 8. Raters, which you can
pet have twice the size of us families receiving letters and pack-
ages in their boxes, the only difference, is that a Orlngo word is
good therefore he rapresnt his family but we the opposite.
We prefer it be that way as with experience with our bro-
i thirs many cannot be trusted.
But why object to us using the same box when our names
-are on the file? A few years ago there was no trouble and it
could easily be remedied in a simple matter, just by putting the
initials of receiver of package on the Call For Package Card.
BOX 89-J. J.
Now during the Congressmen visit, your representatives gave
accounts on the hardships, prices especially In the Commissaries,
then think of us, many of us is not making a third of the U. 8.
Jtaters salaries yet have to pay the same Commissary prices, etc.
You take It from me if sixty percent of the 8. Citizen
.was like oidtimer, probably Panama would not have wanted a
new Treaty, anyway Just bear with us after next year 1th new
Treaty all who resides on Panama territory will lose our privil-
eges so why not cooperate with us till then.
It's the box owner that feels the embarrassment because he
lave the combination and have to find out whose name on the
package, with this suggestion you will also have less trouble, we
T|ll cooperate. Wt want to live within the law.

SIDE GLANCES
By Calbraith
But instead of throwing the full
weight and manpower of 15,000,000
union members against the re-
remaining 100,000 in the hands of
the most powerful combine of pro-
Communist labor leaders, there
are high officials of the AFL-CIO
now bargaining with the Soviet-
eers.
These AFL-CIO officials have
actually invited the left wing lead-
ers into their homes for dis-
discussions.
One of the AFL-CIO officials, a
member of the new AFL-CIO ex-
ecutive committee, appeared be-
fore the pro-Commie UE high com-
mand in New York three weeks
ago,, with offers of deals

Other AFL-CIO leaders have
been meeting secretly with UE
officials, thereby dignifying them.
The Sovieteering UE leaders
have been bargaining like mad
for a merger deal with at least
ve major AFL-CIO unions.
The word now is thato ne of
these big AFL-CIO unions is will-
ing to take the entire pro-Com-
munist UE into its fold. That is
what the UE high command is
discussing now in a series o fmect
uigs so secret that even the name
of the AFL-CIO union willing to
give haven to the pro-Communists
has failed to leak out.
But this much is known: The
leaders of the UE, including such
notorious pro-Sovieteers as Jules

Secretary of State John Foster
Dulles probably never intended to
get smeared by it as he has. But
now that he's in it, he's standing
by his guns.
It began when Portugal's foreign
minister, Dr. Paulo Cunha, was in
Washington. a few days ago. He
made one of the most unblushing
defenses of colonialism since the
Victorian era.
His statement was so out of step
with modern political thought that
it got practically no space in the
American press.
"The'thoughtless spread of the
anticolonialist movement urgently
requires reappraisal," said Dr.
Cunha.
"Acting aa an inflexible 'anti-
colonialist,' the man of the West is
unconsciously rendering the great-
est service to his mortal enemy,
the Communist agitator." he said.
"There is good colonialism and
there is bad
the general organization of the
New York Timea.
The investigation seemed chiefly
aimed at some of the original mem-
bers of the newspaper guild, which
in its early days was troubled with
5ro-Communist and left-wing lean-
lgs. Many of these members have
now .gone over to the conserva-
v*
the New York Times.
It so happens that Senator East-
jand of Mississippi, chairman of
the Security Committee, is from
Mississippi, while the guiding news
genius of the Times, managing edi-
tor Turner Catledge, is also from
Mississippi and once edited t h e
Tupelo, Miss., Journal. Eastland
did not appear at the hearings
When editor Catledge was asked
about the probe he said it .re-
minded him of what Calvin Cool-
ldge said when Rupert Hughes
wrote a book critical of George
Washington.
"Cal looked out the White House
window," said Catledge, "and re-
marked. 'Well, I see the Wash-
ington Monument is still standing.'"
FIGHTING WITH SHOES
A fighting shoe merchant from
Laredo, Texas, was the real man
behind Justice Department suits
recently brought against two giant
Portland to announce his discovery
that secret radio Upes were
being cut.
"I do not like this secrecy busi-
ness," Hoffman spouted, doing his
best to rattle the chairman. Sena-
tor Kerr Scott of North Carolina.
"Who is taping it and for what
purpose?"
"Mr Chairman, "interrupted
Rep. Earl Chudoff (D.. Pa.), "I
just checked and found that ...
some government agency is'taping
it, without permission and without
a request.'*
It was then revealed that Paul
Ewing, regional information of-
ficer of the Interior Department,
was doing the taping.
"It is being taped for check-back
if we need it, Ewing piped up
from the audience.
Confused, GOP Hoffman changed
his tune. He began defending the
Interior Department's right to re-
cord the hearings.
"I am in favor of recording,
but I want to know about it," de-
clared Hoffman. "Don't you want
the department to take an accu-
rate record of what happens?"
Eventually the hearings got un-
der way again, and gradually de-
tails emerged regarding the sale of
300 acres of valuable Rogue River
Forest Land to the MacDonald fam-
ily of Mobile, Ala., after the sale
had been consistently opposed by
the U.S. Forest Service, by the
shoe manufacturers, the General! Interior Department's Bureau of
Shoe Company of Nashville and Land Management, and by Oscar
the Brown Shoe Company of St.
Louis.

their preference. They should not
be forced into union with India,
if they don't want it, in what Dr.
Cunha calls "enslavement by Indi-
an imperialism."
But what this souped-up excite-
ment illustrates again is how the
United SUtes as the leading
turer threatened to put him out of
business a year ago, got sore and
began to batUe. The shoe manu-
facturer's salesman had pulled a
"General Motors" on Sam. He told
Sullivan that unless he sold more
shoes, the firm would finance a
competing shop across the street
and cut into his trade.
This resembles charges brought
against General Motors by auto-
mobile dealers testifying before
Senator Joe O'Mahoney of Wyom-
ing. But unlike the car dealers,
Sullivan immediately started a cru-
sade. He organized the Independ-
ent Shoe Dealers Association. He
also enlisted the aid of such trust-
busters as Senator Estes Kefauver
of Tennessee and Rep. Wright Pat-
man of Texas. They made so much
noise that the Justice Department
started checking.
As a result, the Justice Depart-
ment has filed suits aimed at
breaking up a merger between
the General Shoe Company and
Delman, Inc., of New York; also
blocking another proposed merger
between the Brown Shoe Company
Chapman when secretary of the
interior. SecreUry McKay, how-
ever, reversed this and sold the
timber rights to the National For-
est for only $8,045 as originally
reported on the Washington Merry-
Go-Round on Sept. 29, 1954.

Man Suddenly Pulls
Gun, Tries To Kill
Ex Wife, Suicides
ELMER, Mo., Dec. IB (UP)
The ft. aeon County slicci report-
ed today that a 35-year-old man
u-ied to kill his 18-year-old ex-
wife, shot to death another man!
and then killed h i m s e 1 f in a
crowded cafe here late Saturday
night.
Sheriff Claude Bloomberg said
that Doyle Roy Waddill of Yar-
row, Mo., was in a cafe with his
ex wife, Lois Parrish Waddill, ait-
ting between him and 26-year-old
Harold Wayne Kinder of Elmer.
Suddenly, without any argument,
Waddill pulled out a .45 caliber
pistol. He shot Kinder through the
neart and fired a bullet at the!
Waddill girl's face which she de-
flected with her hand. Then he
shot himself through the right
temple.
Bloomberg said Waddill'a wife
had divorced him last Thursday
and had received custody of a
minor child. The girl was report-
ed In serious but not critical con-
dition in a Kirksville, Mo., hosp-
tal, with head and face wounds.
Waddill had arrived In Elmer
early in the evening and had turn-
ed over his pistol to a service sta-
tion attendant, Lowell Talbert.
He told Talbert to keep the wea-
pon because he did not want any
trouble.
Later in the night Talbert en-
tered the cafe where Waddill ask-
ed for bis gun back, saying "ev-
erything to o.k."
Waddill remained at the bar
with Kinder and the girl. A wait-
er said the three were talking
quietly about 20 minutes later
when Waddill suddenly fired the
shots

TnooiANDsof men would like a op-watch

i highly complicated instrument that may
not always stand up to hard wear, and may
need expensive servicing. It cannot be per-
manently waterproof because of its push-
buttons; it cannot be self-winding, because
its hundred extra parta preclude the
addition of a self-winding mechanism.
Now,. Rolex have

new development in
watchmaking. It has a
genuine Rolex Oyster
Case (without push-

quently absolutely waterproof. It is self-
wound by the smooth, silent Perpetual

advantages of a stop-watchand none of
the comoUcadons. And, in addition, the
Turn-O-Graph give you the hardiness and
amazing accuracy of the world-coveted
Rolex Oyster Perpetual, yet it costs very
bttle more.
HOW IT WORKS
Round the dial of the Turn-O-Graph is a
patented rotating bezel, calibrated from
zero to sixty, with a clearly visible red tri-

able to assume that dummy' will
come down with shortness in at

As it happens, South wants to

in the dummy. The heart shortness
in the North hand is not very im-
pressive, but it eventually .devel

South wins the first trick in his
hand with the ace of spades in
order to lead the first heart
towards dummy's queen. This

Firemen Put Out

LE HAVRE, France, Dec. 18-

but not spent, for other foreign aid
purposes.
Prbtestant, Catholic and Jewish
relief agencies, which took the
lesd in organizing the "share our
surplus" program, are now plan-
ning a joint appeal to the Presi-
dent to exercise this power.
They will tell him that a relative-
ly modest diversion of funds ssy
ten or fifteen million dollars out
of the current overall foreign aid
budget of more than two and a
half billion dollars would make
it possible to double or triple the
flow of surplus foods to needy peo-
ple in all parts of the, world.
They also will point out that any
extra funds which the government
spends en ocean freight will be
recovered in the long run by sav-
ings on farm surplus storage
charges. They estimate the cost
of shipping a ton of wheat over-
seas is roughly the same as stor-
age cost for one year.
Secretary of Agriculture Ezra
T. Benson announced last Wednes-
day that the government will make
available to overseas relief agen
cies, free, as much surplus food
ss they can handle. The offer was
directed to 18 voluntary U.S.' a-
genciea, including Church World
Service (relief arm of the Pro-
testant National Council of Church-
es); Catholic Relief Service; the
Jewish Joint Distribution Commit-
tee; the American Friends Serv-
ice Committee; and CARE.
Spokesmen for' these agencies
promptly announced plans to dis-
tribute about 1,500,000,000 pounds
of surplus-.wheat, four, corn, syrup,
meal, rice, beans, dried milk, but-
ter, cheese snd cottonseed oil to
needy families in 67 countries dur-
ing 1956.

deed is, a lot of food, farm experts

before filing charges against her
ex-convlct second cousin, who
kidnaped, raped and stabbed her
and then left her nude on the
rear seat of an automobile.
If Brenda Gil more lives, her
cousin, Louis Evans, 29, will be
charged with rape and assault. If
she dies, he will be charged with
murder, police said.
Evans confessed to the crime
shortly after he waa arrested Sat-
urday.
Brenda's disappearance was dis-
covered when her mother, Mrs.
'lola M. Cants, returned home
from a shopping trip. The girl
was gone and her clothing was
torn and scattered throughout the
house.
Police immediately launched a
search for Evans, a frequent
visitor to the home. He was ar-
rested after his wife, Josephine,
told police he. came home with
scratches on'his face and blood-
stains on his clothes.
Evans told police he forced
Brenda to accompany him in the
car when hse resisted his ad-
vances in her home. He said he
bound and gagged her before
raping her.
The girl was found later semi-
conscious in the rear seat of Ev-
ans' abandoned automobile beside
a lonely railroad crossing near
the Detroit city limits. She was
nudr and bound with wire.

Although Air Force fire fighting

Two air Force personnel on du-

Symington Flays Defense Cuts;
Says USSR Is Now Superior
.. O-------
DENVER, Dec.'l (UP)- Sen.
Stuart Symington (O-Mo.) charged
Saturday night that the Eisenhow-
er administration has economized
on defense to the extent thar the
Soviet Union now is superior on
land, under the seas and in the
air.
Symington, former Air Secreta-
ry under President Truman, lash-
ed at "money firsters" who have
put the Air Force, Army and Na-
vy behind "Ism great and grow-
ing military strength of the' Soviet
Communists and their satellites;"
The Missouri Democrat spoke to
an American Legion audience at
Denver's Leyden Chils Wichers-
ham Post No. 1, the largest Legion
post in the nation. Palmer Hoyt,
editor and publishero f the Denver
Post, introduced him.
"A successful campaign for per-
manent worm peace can only be
waged from position of relative
strength," Symington said. "... A
billion dollars more or a billion
dollars less is not what we waqt
most to know.
"All Americans have the right
to ask is this country taking a
dequate steps to defend itself a
gainst the growing Communist ag
gression?"
Symington said the Pentagon's
top leaders in all three branches
of service have admitted to con-
gressional committees and in pub-
lished articles that Russia's mili-
tary establishment is bigger, and
growing faster, than our own.
"All during the period when some
thought the cold war was 'off,'
the Communists continued to in-
vest a very high percentage of
their resources in planes and tanks,
and submarinesand nuclear weap
ons," be said.
"May aed orant that seme day -
we have pelkiet which create
vents, instead ef constantly hav-
ing the actions of ethers creat-
ing our pellcies."
ground and under the sea has
reached the point where "it would
be very difficult, if not impossible,
for us to catch up," Symington
said. "So our chance for adequate
defense lies on top of the seaand
above all, in the air."
But Symington quoted "a memb-
er of the Joint Chiefs of S'aff
as saying in October that "if be-
ing ahead is related to aircraft
production, we are again only sec-
ond best. The Communists are pro-
ducing far more combat airplan-
es than we are." ,
The Democratic Senator said
that this country has known "for
some time" of Russian progress
"in total air power, including prog-
ress in such segments of air pow-
er as airborne radar, electronics,
nuclear weapons in the Megaton
range and guided and ballistics
missies." But "the cuts sttained in
air force appropriations by the
'money firsters' have grounded,
as of todsy, dozens of our newest
fighters right here in the United
States, because of lack of trained
maintenance personnel."
Symington accused the republic-
ans of promising a better defense
force for less money, and instead
cutting the Army and Navy, and
s sacrificing air force "combat ef-
s fectiveness" to pay for research.
"At the beginning of this ad-
ministration early IMS the De-
fense Department promised the A-
mericsn people more modern plan-
es, faster, and at less cost, he
said.
"It is the record that counts,
however, not the promises. And the
record shows that we are getting
fewer planes, on a slower produc-
tion schedule, at greater cost
"It is true that research and
development have been somewhat
increased... such an increase,
however, should never be made at
the ex pense of 'forces In being',

British Sergeant
At Dunkirk Fighting
Changing Of His Sex
1 LONDON, Dec. 19 (UP) A
British Army sergeant who was
one of the last men off the
beaches st Dunkirk said today
doctors have told him his war-
time experiences are changing him
into a woman.
J Ex-Sergeant Ted Shingler said
hi Army pension has been top-

and that he has been compelled
to apppear a a "freak" in a
travelling carnival to pay a sex-
change operation.
His wife, 12 older years than
himsef, is backing him up in his
efforts to clear up the mystery of
whether he is a man or a woman,
Shingler said.
The cx-sergeant he organized,
the marshalling of British troops
as they were off the beaches of
Dunkirk under the guns of Hitler
troops in 1940 refused to say
what wartime experiences caused
the change.
"I married my wife in a final
effort to keep on being a man, ;
ha said. "I don't want to be a'
woman. I know I'm making a
Ipectacle of myself appearing in
the carnival like this but I've just I
ot to get the money for this

will restore me to manhood again
that I can lead a normal life.,

GETTYSBURG, Pa., Dec. 19 -
(UP) President Eisenhower to-
day began a week the 12th since
his heart attack that will include
light work and Christmas with his
family in the White House.
The President, on his doctors'
orders, has been loafing since last
Tuesday, but today he was ready
to start dealing with government
business again. He planned to con-
fer with Chairman Lewis L.
Strauss of the Atomic Energy Com-
mission.
Presidential Press Secretary
James Hagerty said Strauss' visit
would be "mostly social" but that
a "few" atomic matters would be
discussed. Strauss, like the Presi-
dent, is an Aberdeen Angus cattle
grower.
Tomorrow Mr. Eisenhower will
meet at his Gettysburg office with
Dillon S. Anderson, a special as-
sistant who will discuss with him
an agenda for Thursday's Nation-
al Security Council meeting at
which the President will preside.
Mr. and Mrs. Eisenhower will
leave their Gettysb urj farm
Wednesday te spend Christmas
in the White House. After the
holiday, again en his doctor'
orders, the President will 90 to
Augusta, a., for rest and e-
xercise in the southern sun-
shine.
Mr. Eisenhower's Christmas ac-
tivities began to pick up yester-
day. He and Mrs. Eisenhower got
their Christmas cards in the mail
and the President, in a radio and
television appearance, gave h i s
Christmas message to the nation.
He also touched a gold telegraph
key to light the huge Christmas
tree at the White House.
The official White House Christ-
mas greeting was a double folded
card on crisp linen. It bore the
gold-and-white presidential seal on
the' front .against a royal blue
background and the engraved
words: "Season's greetings, 1955.
Inside the card read. "The Pres-
ident and Mr. Elsenhower extend
their best wishes for Christmas
and the New Year." The Eisen-
howers also sent out personal cards
which were not described to re-
porters. ,, .
Exactly when the President de-
parts for Augusta depends in large
measure on when his daugbter-
in-law. Mrs. John S. Eisenhower,
has her fourth child. The baby
now is expected later this month.
If the fourth Eisenhower grand-
child arrives at Walter Reed Hos-
Personal Pride
pital in Washington before Christ-
mas, the President probably will
leave for Augusta a day or two
after Christmas.
According to highly-tentative
schedules, ho would return from
Georgia to Washington for the
opening of Congress, then return
by plane to his Georgia resort
as soon as he completes the a-
menities of receiving a formal
committee from the House and
Senate to inform him that Con-
gress is in session.
Mr. Eisenhower will not deliver
his State of the Union message in
person but probably send .it in
written form to the House and
Senate a day or two after Congress
convenes on Jan. 3.
The President's physicians, head-
ed by Dr. Paul Dudley White,
the Boston heart specialist, gave
him a detailed examination Satur-
day and came up with the basic
1 finding that his recovery from his
heart attack was "excellent.

Entry To U.N.
VIENNA, Dec. 19 (UP)VThe

Hungary, Rumania, Bulgaria
and Albania gaily are celebrat-

victory over the United States"
and the "reactionary forces" in

The four satellite countries
were among the 18 nations ap-
proved by the Security Council
as new U.N. members last week.
Government and party ma-
chineries in the four countries

Military Calls Will
Run Under 10,000
For Next Six Months
WASHINGTON, Dec. It
Draft calls are scheduled to run
below 10,000 men a month during
the next six monthsthe lowest
level since the start of the Ko-
rean War, defense manpower offi-
cials indicate.
They added, however, that the
vast majority of youths now
reaching draft age eventually will
see military service despite the
reduced draft calls and cutbacks
in the armed forces.
While draft calls are fixed on
a month-to-month basis, these of-
ficials and the Defense Depart-'
rrient now plan to c a 11 between
6,000 and 10,000 men a ninoth
during the next six months.
That would be the lowest-level:
since the draft, was revived in
September, 1950, after the Con-!
munists moved into South Korea.
Draft calls, which averaged a-
bout 10,000 men a month through
most of 1J53, are scheduled to dip
to 6,000 men each in January and
Febrv ary.
They then are expected to range
between 6,000 and 10,000 men in
each of the next four months, de-
pending on fluctuations in Army
volunteers.
The big key to future draft
calls is the Navy. It announced
last fall that it planned to draft
56,000 men by next June.
The Navy drafted 20,000 men in
October and November. But it is-
sued no calls for December, Jan-
uary and February. With its en-
listment and reenlistment rate
rising, the Navy now hopes it can
return to its traditional satus as
a volunteer force.
Draft calls have been falling
off steadily since the end of the
Korean War and the decision to
cut the Army to 1,027,000 men by
next June 30. About 160,000 men
will, be drafted this fiscal year
compared with 220,000 last year
and 270,000 two years ago.
Defense officials said they now
expect calls to level off at about
120.MX to 200,000 men a year.

LONDON, Dec. 19 (UP) Mrs.
America poo-poohed a po p u 1 a r
conception today that European
women make better housewives
than American women.
"It's not true," said comely Mrs.
Ramona Deitemeyer of Line o 1 n.
Neb. "American girls are fine
home makers."
The 35-year-old mother of five
children, who won her Em. Ameri-
ca title in a contest>W Florida,
said her 10-nation tour of Europe
has convinced her that homes are
much the same everywhere, and
that there is just as much work to
do.
Mrs. Deitemeyer's six-week tour,
which was part of her prise for
winning the contest, showed that
"we are all basically doing the
same thing."
She said European "home mak-
ers" had many false impressions
about the lot of the American
housewife, with her aut o m a t i e
dishwasher, deep freeze and re-
frigerator. She explained that ma-
ny of the middle class housewives
she visited lacked these labor-sav-
